Unit Information

Pound-force per square inch (psi)

Definition

Pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Current Use

PSI is the standard unit of pressure in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. It is commonly used for measuring tire pressure, fuel pressure, and in industrial and residential water systems.

Atmosphere (atm)

Definition

The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to 101,325 Pa. It was originally defined as the pressure exerted by 760 mm of mercury at 0 °C and standard gravity.

Current Use

The atmosphere is used in chemistry, physics, and meteorology as a reference point for standard conditions of pressure.
